Echo Dot

I’m confused you just randomly have the lotto numbers from a decade back memorized?

My copy looked a bit different.

His lawyers are literally advocating that he should be able to have political opponents killed what the hell are you talking about?

It’s sold as a money making scheme not as an alternative form of currency. If you just use it as an alternative form of currency to get around some kind of restriction then it’s fine but the crypto bros don’t use it like that. They think it’s going to manifest some kind of will for them. Of course they’re being tricked by other people who’ve already invested. Who themselves were tricked by other people who already invested. It’s literally a pyramid scheme. The only way anybody makes money is to get other saps involved.

Yep, 👍 mine 🫵 does that. Don’t 🚫 know 🧠 why ❓ anyone would use it as it’s stupid

What your telling me the EYE R S (they actually spelled it like that) doesn’t want me to give them $10,000 in Apple gift cards? Also I’m not American but who’s counting?

Anybody who is seriously in the software industry should have realized the crypto was a giant pyramid scheme that they would definitely at the bottom of.

And if one person tells me that it’s not fiat one more time they’re going to get a slap. Absolutely 100% is fiat shut up.

So is Reduced Instruction Set like in the old assembly days where you couldn’t do multiplication, as there wasn’t a command for it, so you had to do multiple loops of addition?

It’s always fake passport scams that I get, where they will offer people fake passports but of course they don’t actually have any capacity to make them, so they just take your money. Is there really a massive demand for fake passports all of a sudden?

I haven’t run a BB forum for probably well over 15 years but in my experience the best thing was to just limit the ability to post for 24 hours after the account is being created (that makes getting caught and banned a bit more of a pain point because they have to wait 24 hours before they can do anything again) combined with just blocking Russian and Chinese IP addresses.

It’s surprising how much rubbish that stops.

The problem with it being a dev kit is that I don’t know what features are and are not going to be on the more consumer model, so I can’t really develop anything for it.

Will the consumer version have the truly excellent depth tracking or will it use the cheaper but more traditional point tracking system, because that will inform my UI decisions. Will it have iris recognition for logins or will I need to build that functionality in, will they please include controllers, will they please fix it so that you can pin things to a location, and not have them close just because you leave that location? I don’t know, as they haven’t communicated anything about it.

Have they built apps for it yet? I was going to get one but then it was stupidly expensive, was only available in the US, and would require a Mac for development not just for code compiling. To like many I didn’t bother with it. Even if I could have imported it.

Yeah right. Surely it would have been a good idea to take the money for the last 5 years.

I still don’t understand who the pro was actually for. Everyone who had one said exactly the same thing about it which was they couldn’t understand how to use it productively for anything.

The thing is when people put games on Steam they account for the fee that they take. So in a sort of way the lawsuit is right, Valve are effectively causing players to get overcharged for games.

But if I put the same game on both Steam and GoG And make the gog one 20% cheaper, I still get more sales on the Steam page. If I only have it on GOG people actually complain even when you point out that it’s cheaper that way.

So Valve are causing players to get overcharged but players are forcing publishers to put their games on Steam. So players are causing players to get overcharged, so what can you do?

I have no problem with people liking it. But I know for a fact that a lot of people really are just obsessed with it because they got bamboozled into pre-ordering, because Bethesda, and they don’t want to admit they made a mistake.

Starfield’s big problem is it’s a huge universe built on an engine that really can’t support massive worlds like that. The reason you can’t fly around on the surface of a planet is because their crappy engine can’t cope with that much space existing, and it can’t load more environment when you get to the edges like every other game does because their engine doesn’t support proper level streaming.

If you mod the game to force the issue it gets glitchy very very quickly.

Paradox DLC tends to have quite a bit of content in it though. Certainly more than EA tends to give you.

For some reason a lot of parts of Europe seem to want to elect hard right borderline neo Nazis. Many cases, not even borderline.

God knows what the appeal is. Since the hard right and every particularly interested in protecting their own more interested in protecting their wallets. Not a concern that the vast majority of the populace are really going to empathise with.

I wonder if they’re going to do digital or physical releases. It would probably save more money if they didn’t have physical media.

Would be funny if Western games companies start getting in on it. Although I suspect that everything on it’ll be mobile game quality garbage.
